A company can sue you for anything. Don't be intimidated in your color choices. The only way they win is if you don't fight!

- jamesbritt 17y ago"The only way they win is if you don't fight!" The only way? How about if they overpower you in an expensive, drawn-out court battle. Not only is the law stupid, but in the US the process to resist it is seriously flawed.
- quellhorst 17y agoThe trick is that you don't hire a lawyer. You defend yourself and they are the ones getting all of the invoices from expensive lawyers. There are also things you can to do cause them to have higher legal fees. Books from Nolo are very valuable when you are defending yourself.
- fnid 17y agoI agree. I always wondered why lawsuits are inherently expensive. If they are bringing the case, they pay the court costs. You don't have to pay attorneys. Life is about learning and experience and what better way than to be taken on a ride through a new system? Take it as an opportunity to build a legal defense information system, then sell it and make a bundle off the experience you gain.
- jamesbritt 17y agoIt depends on the stakes. If this is merely a case of C&D, and if you lose you just stop doing whatever it was you were doing, the risk is nil. If there is a claim for damages or restitution or whatever, and you may be out of pocket if you lose, you need to weigh the cost of legal help versus the risk of losing.
- jamesbritt 17y agoAnd if you lose, and there are damages and fines? I guess I'm skeptical that simply being right is enough to triumph in court against a determine company with a lot of money and little conscience.
